For the fourth year in a row, the powerhouse Midwestern indie-rap label Rhymesayers will put on its Soundset Festival, which this year comes to Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota on May 29. Rhymesayers figureheads Atmosphere will once again headline the festival, and the bill includes an interesting mix of big-name veterans and smaller, scrappier indie types.
This year, the lineup features Big Boi, De La Soul, Curren$y, Edan with Paten Locke, Slaughterhouse, Brother Ali, Doomtree, Dilated Peoples, Mac Miller, Blueprint, Grieves & Budo, and Zion I & the Grouch, among many others. There will also be B-boy/B-girl battles, an MC battle, a DJ tent, a live painting exhibition, skateboarding, a car show (!), and all sorts of other activities.
